This is nothing new, but they are still trying hard. Malware sites are luring potential victims by pretending to offer TV shows streams or downloads. South Park is set to premier its Season 13 tonight, and some sites are offering the episodes online even before it airs. Well, those sites are linking to another sites pretending to be your own Windows XP Desktop and telling you that you have been infected.
I discovered the linking site through a back-track on WordPress dashboard. It is pretty easy to spot if a site is legitimate or not. In the past, many malware “suppliers” had been opening tons of WordPress accounts to posts malicious links disguised as video links.
I guess I’ll be hunting down those malicious WordPress blogs again.
